Galaxy are looking to help small, local community projects and groups through their GALAXY Hot Chocolate Fund. From November 7th 2016 until February 26th 2017, they are seeking to award a total of seventy, £300 donations to help community groups and people across UK and Ireland.

Five donations will be awarded each week, four by our panel of judges and one through the People’s Choice award to the organisation with the most weekly votes.

We’d love to be one of the 70 and would use the prize money to buy props and musical instruments which we can use as part of the 63 weekly sessions we run. Much of our interaction is done through song, touch and mirroring the people we support which builds a meaningful connection and encourages further communication. Props and musical instruments are used to add a different dynamic to the sessions and to encourage further interaction and enjoyment.
